Ubuntu's current LTS version (24.04) contains ffmpeg version 7:6.1.1-3ubuntu5 which has this buffer overflow vulnerability:

https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/10952

https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2024-32230

On my only Ubuntu computer, my update widget says that I need to upgrade to ffmpeg version 7:6.1.1-3ubuntu5+esm2 but can only only do so with Ubuntu Pro. I'm not eligible for Ubuntu Pro.

Ubuntu claims that 24.04 is currently fully supported, and should have complete security updates. However, they seem to have paywalled this security update.

What should I do?

In case anyone was thinking this applies only to inkjet printers: no, it ONLY seems to apply to laser printers -- the thing that Brother used to be known for. Where the article says "ink", they mean "toner". There is no ink in a laser printer.

One woman told me that she identifies as bisexual, even though she is attracted to all genders including non-binary, because she has two "modes" of dating. When dating women, she prefers to be the pursuer. When dating men, she prefers to be the pursued. I'm not sure which way she usually went with enbies.

There are no useful quantum computers. If you disagree, provide a citation.

The quantum computers that exist can't solve anything that can't be done better and faster by a normal computer.

I think quantum computers may be impossible. But if they are possible, they will be a USB/PCIe accessory that works alongside an ordinary processor running an ordinary operating system.

I expect Linux will have a driver for quantum computers before Windows.
